I bought 11 Dymond 4,7 servoes and they are just great. Presice and good torque.
I really dislike the small Hitecs, have killed 4 of the 55 servo.


And why so negative to unitedhobby ? Have tested batteries etc from them with good result, excellent service so far

unitedhobbies.com is a great place for some good quality gear. Some things I would never buy from them. I got one of there hacker style A20-20L and it is awesome motor. Pulls just as much as the real thing. Although it takes a little longer than usual to get stuff it still is great. Great customer service too. I recieved the wrong item and they sent a new one out without having me to send the wrong one back and no additional shipping no questions asked.
They are good IMO

why not, there is tottaly nothing wrong with their gear. i have put in 2 orders already and the gear is great. i trust those servos more than hs 55 infact i put them in a extreme flight yak 55 sp and they work awesome. their badass. theres no reason to put high price servos on a foam airplane that you wont have for over a week or 2. i mean yea hitec is great but what is the honest reason for putting a hs 65 on a foamy. u just dont need that much torque. just my 2 cents

i love united hobbies. there 1300 mah pacs are only an oz more compared to a tp1320 and the c rating is much higher. all of their gear is great. i mean if ur sponsered by hitec then go for it and get the hs 55 but i will never pay 12 or 13 dollars or whatever it is to go on a shock flyer or foamy of some sort knowing that i wont have it no where near as long as my built up wooden electrics or my gassers.

I really appreciate all the input. Is there a need for a servo like the futaba 3145 digital? I guess the only bad thing about the 3114 is the nylon gears. I wonder if there is a metal gear replacement?

I have started using the MPI MX35 with great success. It has good torque/speed for just 6 grams weight.

I would have to say hitec HS-50. they are small stong and light. plus hitecs come with a two year warentee so if you strip them you can send then in and get a new servos no questions asked.

The problem I see with lots of these servos that are being listed is that they are over 6 grams. For example, the HS55 weighs 8 grams and those will make indoor foamies heavier. I think we all know that 4 to 6 oz foamies is the target for indoors. I am looking for a reliable 4 gram servo so I hope Hitec, or someone else for that matter, can produce something.

Good call Jeff, I'm thinking the same thing. I've always had good luck with the hs55's, but they are a little heavy for a 4 to 6 oz foamy. I've been lookin into the S60 from e-flite that may be a winner,
but did i read that right??? a 4GRAM karbonite in the works?? ooooohhh......:-)

e-flite s60 servos, just put them on a 5.9 oz foamy and they work great. Fast and ligher than the hs-55
